Chelsea manager Graham Potter said he understood why the club's fans are "frustrated, disappointed and angry" after the season hit a new low with a 2-0 home defeat by Aston Villa.
Chelsea coach Graham Potter is under mounting pressure after another disappointing result, but he's intent on remaining positive. Facing the press following the 2-0 home defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday evening, Potter was upbeat.
Under-pressure Chelsea manager Graham Potter said he took responsibility after a 2-0 loss at home to Aston Villa on Saturday sent the Blues into the bottom half of the Premier League tables. Ollie Watkins gave Villa an early lead before a superb strike by John McGinn, fresh from starring in Scotland's shock Euro 2024 win over Spain, made it 2-0 in the 56th minute with Chelsea booed off the field by their own fans come full-time at Stamford Bridge. Defeat saw Villa leapfrog the hosts into ninth place, with the result leaving Chelsea, for so long used to being title-contenders, in 11th -- below local rivals Fulham -- and five points off any European spot.
Graham Potter said he feels the pain of Chelsea supporters after some fans called for him to leave at the end of his side's 2-0 defeat to Aston Villa.

In-form Ollie Watkins was on target and John McGinn struck a screamer as Aston Villa leapfrogged Chelsea into the top half of the Premier League table thanks to a hard-fought 2-0 victory at Stamford Bridge. Unai Emery’s Villans grabbed the lead on 18 minutes when Watkins latched on to Marc Cucurella’s howler of a header to coolly lob over the advancing Kepa. Ad It saw the 27-year-old England international become the first ever Villa player to net in five Premier League matches in a row away from home and set the platform for another impressive, well organised showing under their Spanish coach.
